The Green Bay Packers decided against taking a defensive back in the first round. Instead, they opted for protection for their franchise quarterback Jordan Love.
Jordan Morgan from Arizona is the newest Packer. His highlights show he’s an incredible athlete along the offensive line.
He has outstanding athleticism and foot speed for the position and it is what makes him successful as a pass protector. He has one strategy that he deploys, it works how he wants it to on jump and 45 sets; this is working with independent hands, getting his outside hand latched first on the shoulder of the edge-rusher, followed by using his inside hand to guide the defender upfield.
His outside hand is a strong paw into the chest and is where he gains most of his play strength from, he’s a good bender and so this is a solid strategy for him because it forces the defender to go upfield to his dominant hand and he can deploy his speed to trace the hoop if he gets into any trouble.
Unfortunately, he really doesn’t use much else in his pass pro and he will need to add other ways to win at the next level if he remains on the outside, good rushers will find a way to take advantage of this when they know it’s coming down in and down out.
When he uses a vertical set, the strategy comes apart a little, elite rushers at the college level with good play strength and good hand timing, when rushing from a wide 9 alignment were able to get some speed up against him and convert speed to power coming through him to the Quarterback.
